When God closes a door...

He opens the windows right?? But what if the opened windows were on the third floor? What if He closes the door but gives you a note with clues as to where the keys are hidden...would you break your neck trying to climb up on that window? (note: you have no ladder and no plants are growing near the windows...Or, would you find the key?
I just got to thinking about this popular quote, and those questions came up...
Of course the window/door means a way to your dreams...or desires...or success...

Hi marapplestiffy...There is a saying that goes with that...God will knock at your door but you have to answer it. He will tap you on the shoulder but you have to turn around. He will speak on your heart but you must act on it....Yes I would break my neck because I profess to believe in him, so I would be a hippo-crate not to listen to Him.

But what if, like me, I tried the hard way but I realized looking back that there was an easier and much more fruitful way of doing things,,,isn't it dumbstriking how humans cant see the perfect path God paved for them...I'm referring to myself only though...

He will always open doors...sometimes you might not like it though...remember, Gods path is the narrow path not the wide one.
And yes we are blind sometimes to what God has offered us.

When God closes a door he opens a window. I think that is a form of Fate but alot of people would rather put it off on Him. Fate happens for a reason, often to help us learn something. THis is also put off on God. A way to a persons dreams is determination, visualization, positive thought patterns.

I get what you are saying and I like your question!
I think thats the problem with most of us alot of the time...we break our neck trying to get to what we think is the open window or ever door.
But I think the note with clues is his word and if we keep our eyes on him, and stay in the word, he will reveal the clues and we will soon have the key and the window will open effortlessly. Now that window may or may not be what we expected but thats ok cause its his will. The key is to stay focused on him.
Again, great question, do another!

Don't do it yourself. Ask God's guidance every step of the way for that open doors/window He has prepare for you. If the one in front of you is close, God has another place open. Keep on trusting and believing, just do your best and God will do the rest.

Is imagery just lost on this generation? Is there no understanding of metaphor? Or I guess, why is it so important to make God a trickster? God gives you a way out - the metaphor. It is not always what you think it might be because what your dreams, desires or our version of success might not what is good for you right now. God at times needs to herd the most blind of us the direction we need to go. You need to stop looking for the trick and look to an answer.

I understand the metaphor...that's why I got to thinking about how God, gives us ways to our success...it's not just about a hard way to it, sometimes it's really really hard or sometimes the way is just staring right at us...

No one in our life does get the doors easily we all have to struggle for success and joy of our life, sorrows are part of life and they are like thorns coming in between us to make us fall down but who every climbs carefully only he will be benefited from his hard work. God when he closes all the doors and keeps a secret window nearby which is like when are not been able to succeed or we have lot of problems facing he keeps a solution hidden somewhere because he doesn't want us to be miserable for having happiness in our life all he wants is faith and through that we can surely find the secret window. Now coming to your point i will surely find the key for the road of dreams and desires for success when there is no ladder no plants this means that we have to find ourselves to go towards the window or find a key.

For me he only close the door in time of his Armageddon so hard to deal with it in that time.

The window is open for light. This light enables you to see the direction He wants you to take. Jumping out the window probably wouldn't be the direction He was wanting. Although, many people have tried it with little success. Finding the key to your future can really be difficult. Just keep in mind, during times of questioning His path for you, He loves us all and He will prevail in the end. No matter how hard we try to fight it. Best Wishes!
